Mike,
Given what you describe, I assume you are using a property for the
shortcut name (and that property can be modified by the user interface).
Unfortunately, Microsoft installer does not retain any knowledge of
properties from one execution to the next, and that is why the value for
that property is getting reset to the default.
You probably want to modify the installation to store the modified
property value in the registry (Registry element), then use a registry
search (RegistrySearch element) to restore the stored value back into
the property before the shortcuts are removed.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Richard

Subject: [WiX-users] Newbie question about shortcut uninstall
Please excuse a stupid question from someone who has only been using WiX
for
a few days... I'm installing a shortcut to the start menu, but putting
up a
dialog to let the user change the name of the shortcut. This works fine,
but
when it comes to uninstall time the shortcut is not getting removed.
From
the log I can see that msi is trying to remove the original name of the
shortcut as it was initialized prior to getting the changed name from
the
user. I'm obviously going the wrong way about this, what's the right
way?
